Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
isearch-mb: A subtle modification to isearch (C-s and friends) giving it a more “normal” feel by today's standards. Basically, allows you to edit the search string while searching. Similar to ctrlf, but less invasive of a change, and arguably more robust.

C-s and C-r with counters
See if ctrlf is to your liking. It seems to have this feature, among others.

Disable ivy (swiper) from binding C-n C-p?
Consider using raxod502/ctrlf instead if you won't use anything else ivy/swiper offer.

Buffer made up from grep results ("gather/scatter") ?
Have a look at CTRLF. When you hit "C-s" for ctrlf-forward-default (i-search). Now type what you're searching for. Then you can do "M-s o". That will open a Occur buffer with the existing search input. Not sure that you can edit in that buffer tho.

emacs.git: New user options to move between isearch matches
CtrlF and Isearch MB also have this behavior.

How much time you need to spent with Emacs to become more productive?
I viewed Prot's video back in January on Embark, Consult, and Orderless; I found them interesting, but not really fitting into my workflow and of course, not a reason to replace Swiper. But I was not thinking about how the packages were working--something you've looked into. Reading the Selectrum page about comparisons, I think I might like CtrlF a bit better than Swiper, though I've yet to try it.

Advice on moving from Emacs to Neovim
Thanks that is helpful. I do have a question though. Is there any plugin similar to ace-window? I frequently have a situation where I have two frames (basically two windows) that are connected to the same Emacs process, and I am jumping between buffers in both frames.

I created a package that forces Emacs to open buffers in the current window
Looks good. But https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window was a game-changer for me :-)
-
[ido-numbered-mode] I made my first emacs package! It lets you switch buffers fast.
take a look at https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window

Workspaces in Emacs
I recently started using workspaces in my workflow, and although I know many packages are available in Emacs such as the ones mentioned in the comments, but what worked for me so far is just make a second frame and use ace-window with the variable aw-scope set to 'frame. And from there I just move one frame to the appropriate workspace in my desktop environment and that's it. It's worth keeping in mind that the buffers are still shared so might not be the perfect workspace experience, but I don't think that matters in Emacs.

How to move the cursor from one buffer to another quickly
Try the ace-window package. I think you're referring to C-x o which is bound to other-window.

Tool for managing buffers and windows
Also highly recommend ace-window.

find-file-at-point in ace-window selected window
I'd like to use ffap (to open files/dirs) in windows I select with ace-window (https://github.com/abo-abo/ace-window). Similar to what aw-switch-buffer-in-window and aw-switch-buffer-other-window do, but with find-file-at-point instead of buffer selection. Crucially, the point means the where I am when the function is called.

What is your Emacs window/frame usage stye?
If someone has a big monitor I recommend changing C-x 1 delete-other-windowsto revert to have 2 windows open, (like in this config) and using ace-window to navigate to your many windows.
